As the bangles chime with a ringing sound,
As tiny bells tinkle and ring,
With auspicious chants rising all around,
As cries of blessing echo everywhere,
A swayamvaram (bride choosing her groom) is taking place...
This is a swayamvaram that brings pure bliss...
Aaaaaa Aaaaaa Aaaaaa Aaaaaa
To never forget you, even for a single day,
I want that sweet boon.
In our bond, in body and in soul,
I want the boon of never being separated.
Just like an eyelid to an eye,
I want to stay close without ever parting.
Oh, my master who rules my heart!
Aa ha, aa ha, aa ha, aa ha, aa ha, aa...
To never forget you, even for a single day,
I want that sweet boon.
In our bond, in body and in soul,
I want the boon of never being separated.
Thanananana naa thanananana naa
Thanananana naa thanananana naa naa naa naa naa
Just point your finger, and I will dance to your word.
I will put it in writing that I am your devoted slave.
Like your own blood, I will course through your golden body.
Flowing through your body, I will seek your inner beauty.
Like a peacock dancing with open feathers,
Is this body, sweet as sugarcane.
Receiving the sweetness rushing forward,
It is time to lay out a feast of love.
With arrows striking and nerves on fire,
Why this playful mischief, crossing all limits?
Aa ha, aa ha, aa ha, aa ha, aa ha, aa...
To never forget you, even for a single day,
I want that sweet boon.
In our bond, in body and in soul,
I want the boon of never being separated.
Just like an eyelid to an eye,
I want to stay close without ever parting.
My equal match, my tender deer,
My lifelong partner, my tender deer!
Aa ha, aa ha, aa ha, aa ha, aa ha, aa...
To never forget you, even for a single day,
I want that sweet boon.
In our bond, in body and in soul,
I want the boon of never being separated.
Along with the warmth of the bed, tie a cradle, my gentle swan.
I long for the sweet child that this jasmine vine will bear.
Shall I cradle you on my lap just like a little child?
Come, drift off to sleep to my gentle lullaby.
I deeply long to hear you sing a lullaby, my deer.
Even if you ask for six or seven children,
I will bear them all myself.
Precious days of sweet kisses will arrive like pearls,
And bring wondrous beauty like a living picture.
Aa ha, aa ha, aa ha, aa ha, aa ha, aa...
To never forget you, even for a single day,
I want that sweet boon.
In our bond, in body and in soul,
I want the boon of never being separated.
Just like an eyelid to an eye,
I want to stay close without ever parting.
My equal match, my tender deer,
My lifelong partner, my tender deer!
Oh, master who rules my heart!
Master who rules my heart!
Aa ha, aa ha, aa ha, aa ha, aa ha, aa...
